Milno:

"Someone should get that. I already have my hands full." - Milno said while waving his laser gun and the pyramid.

[Scelly9]

"What the hell"
Hobble up to the pyramid and try and take it.

[piecewise]

"What the hell"
Hobble up to the pyramid and try and take it.

I assume you mean the hovering cube, not the pyramid that Milno has.

[Caellath]

((Yep, I guess he meant the cube. If he tries to take my pyramid, bash his head with my laser rifle for good measure.))

[piecewise]

"Does anyone have a feeling that geometry is the forte of these creatures or is it just me?" Feyri said. "Should we search this place or move on? If we move on, I'll be touching this cube here, to make sure we aren't heading into any trouble. If not, then me and Jim shall search the northeastern room, in relation to our position.

How does that sound?"

"What the hell"
Hobble up to the pyramid and try and take it.

"Does anyone have a feeling that geometry is the forte of these creatures or is it just me?" Feyri wonders aloud.
"Should we search this place or move on? If we move on, I'll be touching this cube here, to make sure we aren't heading into any trouble."

Milno stares at the cube. "After the experience with that robot, I have to admit I'm tempted to shoot any alien artifact before touching or even approaching it. But someone should get it. I already have my hands full." Milno says, waving his laser gun and the pyramid around.

Ivan shrugs. ""What the hell."

Both Feyri and Ivan walk to the pyramid and spend a few seconds looking at it before Feyri tries to grab it. She gets her hand around it alright, but finds it quite impossible to dislodge from it's chosen place in mid-vacuum. After giving it several good yanks to no effect she tries pushing it down, also to no effect. She takes a step back and tries to scratch her head for a moment, but ends up simply running her gloved hand into her helmet. [Intuition check Feyri:1 Ivan: 5] Ivan, watching all this with a studious air, steps forward and gently lifts the cube straight up. It shifts up a few inches and then stops, becoming immovable again.

The raised platform begins to slowly lift and ascend toward the ceiling, taking Ivan and Feyri with it.

[Caellath]

Milno:

Jump onto that platform and drag Faith with me, but only if it is safe (a.k.a only if I don't need a roll for that and )
Actually wait until they do their stuff then do the same.

[Tiruin]

(((No +1 to my intuition then?)))
Feyri:

"Oh I just hope this won't crush us on the ceiling, for I will be fairly disappointed. Isn't that right? Jim?"

Examine cube. Examine pedestal. Examine ceiling.

[Scelly9]

Continue to push cube up. Push down if it looks like we will get crushed.

[piecewise]

Milno:

Jump onto that platform and drag Faith with me, but only if it is safe (a.k.a only if I don't need a roll for that)

You give faith a none-too-gentle shove onto the slowly ascending platform. She falls backward onto it and you hop on yourself. She shoots you a dirty look, or what you assume is one behind the face plate,  and you shrug before offering her a hand up.

(((No +1 to my intuition then?)))
Feyri:

"Oh I just hope this won't crush us on the ceiling, for I will be fairly disappointed. Isn't that right? Jim?"

Examine cube. Examine pedestal. Examine ceiling.

>>Eh, I was rolling to see if either of you got it, and since he got it perfectly, figured it wasn't worth worrying about. Pardon my sloth.

You look at the floating cube. It looks exactly the same as before, only a few inches higher now.  You look at the platform (Thats what I'm assuming you meant, since the cube doesn't have a pedestal). It's a hexagonal piece of metal, about 5 meters long and maybe a few inches thick. It has no distinguishing characteristics, other than the fact that it is flying. Lastly you glance up at the ceiling. The ceiling is flat here, as opposed to the strange slanting configuration in the main halls and about 15 meters high. Other then that it's the same featureless, dull metal that everything is made of. There don't seem to be any openings for this platform to move through.

Continue to push cube up. Push down if it looks like we will get crushed.

You try to push the cube up and when that fails, you try to push it down; this fails as well. You try to move it left, right, forward, backward, diagonal and in every other way you can conceive of. No amount of struggling, shoving, or impotent smacking seems to budge the hovering block.

The platform is now about 10 meters up.

[Scelly9]

Try and figure out how to move the platform more.

[Caellath]

((I edited my action nine minutes before you posted the turn...So if I die or suffer any kind of wound I'll call the GM guilty on that. ))

Try and figure out how to move the platform more.

[intelligence roll:1] Obviously this machine is driven by some sort of moon magic from lunar sprites. Perhaps you can appeal to their mischievous, yet innocent, nature and persuade them to help you in exchange for whoopee cushions and Noogies.

((I edited my action nine minutes before you posted the turn...So if I die or suffer any kind of wound I'll call the GM guilty on that. ))

This is what I get for making a sandwhich while typing and taking a few minutes. Um...How do you want to handle this? We can just assume you and faith are still on the ground, or yo can ride with this situation. Your choice.

[Caellath]

((I could accept going with them if all of us could use our intelligence rolls. But as we can not (missing IronyOwl/Faith's post), I prefer to stay on the ground and watch the crazy ride.))

Stay put and watch them, but try to figure how that thing works from a distance. I want to try and help them.

[Scelly9]

"Derp, I smartes!"


Jump up and down, see if the platform moves at all.

[Tiruin]

"Aliens! Oh bother. Why is everything here out to kill us! Even gravity hates me! That's it. I'm going all out on this." Feyri said, both over the inter-com and vocally. This was utterly confusing, and the only things she remembered that was as confusing as this was the games of puzzles she had back home.

Y'know, before she was apprehended for jaywalking on a road without any traffic...

WILL the cube, and platform through the cube to stop ascending! Examine surroundings.

Edit: Stop being ninja's! 5 replies?!

Edit II: Maybe waiting for everyone's action would be wise. Leaving a party member idling at a point while the others are doing something is wrong in my eyes.
